I took some vacation and we drove to Carbondale, IL USA. We will be in the path of the total eclipse in about 40 minutes. Right now it is maybe 20%. I took a picture 15 minutes ago or so.

We had about 80%, in Arkansas, where I live, most of the central part of the state had a total eclipse. We had a total eclipse back in 2017.

Astronomers will be salivating for decades. Most will have drool cups strapped to their heads for years.
